Although Su Yingxue joined, Qu Chu did not forget her duties and always rode a horse to guard Ning Youbei's carriage.

An hour later, Qu Chu and his group met with the team waiting for the Hou near Mantuo Villa.

Seeing Ning Youbei's carriage, Dongfang Ying came up.

"Prince".

Su Yingxue, who had just got off the carriage, heard the affectionate "prince" curling her lips. It was such a bad peach blossom!

She deliberately walked to Ning Youbei's carriage and said coquettishly: "Youbei, who is this person?"

Qu Chu was shocked by Su Yingxue's delicate "Youbei". Before, Yingxue ignored the King of Chu, but now she called "Youbei".

Ning Youbei was almost choked by Su Yingxue's "Youbei", but he did not dare to offend this person.

Not only because she is a very important person for Qu Chu, but also because of her vengeful personality, she is constantly emerging and has unpredictable means of poisoning.

If she offended her, she would give herself some medicine that was not fatal but uncomfortable, and she would have no way to reason.

Before Ning Youbei could speak, Dongfang Ying was on guard: "Who are you?"

Dongfang Ying is also a beauty, but she is still much worse than Su Yingxue. The only advantage over Su Yingxue is her age, but Su Yingxue is still combed in the hairstyle of an unmarried girl.

"I am Youbei's relative, who are you?"

Su Yingxue's tone was deliberately contemptuous.

Su Yingxue is right to say this. Her master is Ning Youbei’s aunt. Isn’t she a relative?

Dongfang Ying didn't know Su Yingxue.

She knew that Ning Youbei and the others went to Mando Villa, but she did not associate the beautiful and friendly woman in front of her with the vicious owner of Mando Villa.

However, when Dongfang Ying heard that Su Yingxue was a relative of Ning Youbei, he dared not be rude.

"I am Dongfangying, the daughter of the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion."

When introducing himself, Dongfangying was two more confident. After all, Lingxiao Pavilion is still respected in the world.

Su Yingxue curled her lips in her heart. The other party was just a little girl who could sway her teeth and claws, and she was vulnerable. She had already made things difficult for her, so there was no need to pay attention to her anymore.

She turned around and said to Qu Chu, "Are you going to take a break before leaving or set off now?"

Qu Chu turned to Ning Youbei and asked, "King of Chu, what do you mean?"

Ning Youbei was a little flattered.

Qu Chu had never asked his opinion along the way. She set off when she wanted to set off, and stopped to rest when she wanted to stop. Is the opinion now that she asked her because there were two more women next to her?

If it is really because of this, it would be okay to have two more women around you to make a noise.

"Just make the decision on the march Achu!"

Qu Chu then ordered He Dabao: "I will inform you and set off in half a quarter of an hour."

Dongfang Ying, who was cold beside him...

...

On this day, I arrived at Guanshan Pass.

The reason why it is called Guanshan Pass is because it looks like a round and drum-shaped valley, with high mountains on both sides, rugged and steep, with narrow entrances and exits, only two people passing by side, while the middle part is like a round drum that can accommodate many people.

If you want to go west, you either pass through this road or go to other towns and take an extra five or six days of itinerary.

The next trip is also dangerous.

When Qu Chu disguised himself to the tribes in the west for secret investigation five years ago, he also passed through the pass. But at that time, he only brought He Dabao and a few others, and quickly passed by the horse.

Now it is different. There are more than a thousand people in the entire team. If they all enter the valley and are ambushed, unless the enemy is wiped out, the losses will be serious if they want to leave the valley.

Qu Chu and Su Yingxue said, asking her to take care of Ning Youbei, and she wanted to take He Dabao into the valley to check.

Su Yingxue said to Qu Chu:

"Take green plums with you. Her sense of smell is different from that of ordinary people, and she can smell scents that ordinary people cannot."

Qu Chu looked at the green plum.

Green plum has a round face, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a very cute 17-8-year-old girl. When she saw Qu Chu look at her, she showed a harmless smile.

"OK".

Qu Chu did not object.

People should not behave like a person. Since Ying Xue said it, there will be no mistake.

Three people entered the valley.

After running for a while, Qu Chu didn't hear any abnormal movement, but Lumei stopped.

"General, there is a smell of sulfur, charcoal, and a light salty smell. I don't know what object is coming from."

Qu Chu stopped and sniffed carefully, but he didn't smell anything. She looked at He Dabao, and He Dabao shook his head, indicating that he didn't smell anything either.

Qu Chu looked at Lumei, "Can you smell these smells from which direction?"

Green plum smelled it carefully again, then pointed his finger at the mountains on both sides, "General, it should be the smell floating from above."

Qu Chu looked at the mountains on both sides.

From her perspective, there is nothing else except the rugged and steep mountains.

However, sulfur and charcoal are the raw materials for making black gunpowder. If the green plum has a correct sense of smell, it is very likely that someone has prepared black gunpowder on the mountain and just waited for them to enter the valley and threw it down to blow them up.

He Dabao also understood what Qu Chu was worried about.

"General, if you want to use black gunpowder, wouldn't it be better to bury it underground?"

"It's true, but they were worried that I could see traces of being dug on the ground, which would detonate the black gunpowder first."

"What should I do?"

Qu Chu did not answer He Dabao's question immediately.

With her martial arts, it is impossible to climb a mountain, let alone others. Unless you take a detour from the mountain to the mountain, you can solve all the people and black gunpowder hidden in the mountain.

But that would take a lot of time, and it would be better to take a detour.

Or, there is another way...

"Let's go out first!"

After leaving the valley, Qu Chu General found out that he had talked to Ning Youbei.

"Do you think you want to take a detour?"

Ning Youbei thought for a while, "Achu, do you have any other solutions?"

"There is one way," Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei, "It's just that there are risks."

"You talk about it first."

"I thought, if we move forward at full speed, it would take about a cup of tea to pass through the valley. The black powder they prepared on the hill was always limited. We originally wanted to wait for us to enter the valley together before we concentrated on blowing us. If we entered separately, they would not know who to blow up.

But in this case, black gunpowder will always be thrown down, and people will always be injured."

Ning Youbei thought for a while and made a decision:
Chapter completed!
